Head of a Man in Profile
Most people know Georges Seurat for his obsessive pointillism—painting with thousands of tiny dots to create light—but this sketch shows a much looser, dreamier side. The artist used faint, feathery strokes to capture a man’s profile in a right-facing view, leaving much of the textured paper bare to let the image float like a ghost. You can find his signature, 'Seurat,' scribbled quietly near the collar, anchoring the ethereal face. It’s a beautiful reminder that even the most scientific painters started with simple, human observation.
